I personally can't wait to play Sabotage. This game is already a Must-Buy for me.

Edit: Ok so it was posted before, but it was lumped in with the 80s edition thread. This deserves it's own topic.

My favorites are in Bold there. The Slayer song is HARD, Through Fire and Flames is insane.

If you've never heard Cities on Flame (I hadnt when I started) check out the video The lyrics are kinda goofy but oh man is that song fun to play. Number of the Beast isnt in bold because it kicks my ass

I know a lot of people who'll be getting the PS2 version, people that bought the PS2 just to play Guitar Hero. Guitar Hero (I and II) is still selling really well on the PS2, I suspect that GH3 will be no different.

I just wish I knew if the downloadable songs will be released later as an expansion pack or what...

If the game does sell well it wouldn't surprise me if they released some kind of DLC compilation.

Edit: What the sh*t, are they morans? The part at the beginning is performed by the KEYBOARD!

f*ck, it's exactly the sort of thing I didn't want, that they made it unlike a guitar simulation and more of a Music Game thing where you just push buttons randomly.

The beginning only has power chords...

Its a bonus song dude. FreezePop was entirely synthesizers and keytars and sh*t and it was plenty of fun to play. Take a deep breath buddy, it will all be ok

Also, according to the ScoreHero Forum, the intro is actually performed by a Spanish Acoustic Guitar.

Quoth Neversoft:

Fine, I'll clarify for you then There actually is no keyboard in the intro ( there is but it's mostly ambience. The intro is in fact, a classical and spanish guitar sound mixed together to make this beautify of an intro. I would know, I did track the chart, and I have heard only the this part of the song split out. You will also notice this on GuitarPro tabs. That is all.

Followed by 5 pages of people going "NUH-UH! I KNOW CUZ WHILE I DIDN'T MAKE THE GAME I AM TEH LIZTENING SMARTAY!"

The acoustic guitar may be sampled on the keyboards, but that explanation is bull.

I know it's a dorky nitpick but really, this is exactly the sort of thing that I didn't want - making a song hard just for the sake of making it difficult, not because it's similar to playing a guitar. Otherwise you get "Guitar Hero 80's".

....you mean in GH3? Cuz they're in GH2, y'know. "Carry Me Home" is in the final tier of songs.

Watch them live and there's no "acoustic guitar intro", what the sh*t is that.

Perhaps, just perhaps, maybe, they recorded the acoustic guitar and saw no reason to waste the time actually using it in the video, or in live performances? If I can watch The Nuge get shot at while he wails away at the guitar, which means he just might've been pantomiming during the video, and since, all studio recordings don't always translate perfectly to live performances, I'm going to give the developers the benefit of the doubt. Metallica doesn't actually break out a Maxim gun for the intro of "One", but in concert, you hear the gunshots anyway.

It's not that it's dorky, it's that people are flying completely off the handle on the tiniest, nitpickiest of evidence. The music video isn't evidence of how a song is played, or else Ludacris really does all his raps hanging upside from nothing. And everything you do in the studio doesn't always make it to the stage.

I mean, we all do realize that we're playing a glorified version of DDR, and not How To Become Hendrix With The Help Of Video Game Technology, right? In one song, I played a keytar, and at the end, I was transported into space by Aliens. This ain't alt.music.guitarlessons. Given that some songs are harder to play on expert than they actually are on the guitar (See: Frankenstein, which would also probably be all keyboard, and Strutter), and others that take some pretty obvious "liberties" with note accuracy and more (Jessica, for instance) I don't see the rage, myself.

I'm right there on the PS2 version, I don't have to get any new guitars that way. For Rock Band though .... *drool*
